If there was a twee off. I like JoFo there tunes are wicked just a ace solid band. LC! I can take or leave to be honest, they are pretty fun I guess. Davina McCall isn't even hot anymore... Bonoffee pie is nice in moderation... fosters is a bit shit.

it's an ignorance of anyone else like them (setting myself up for a fall with that statement I fear).

What I'm getting at is that there are ceaseless bands who employ high-pitched American-rock-like vocals (often with a boy and girl), limp breakdown guitar solos towards the end of the 3 minutes, the odd bit of triangle playing to balance this "evil streak", etc. it's like someones taken 4 different styles of music making to me, blended them together without the all important egg-like binding ingredient and you end up with a mess that doesn't fit into any specific genre, but equally doesn't warrant the creation of a new one.

Bis and Seafood did all the above but with an edge that made them decent. These guys just all sound... whats the word I'm after... maybe; nauseous?

Yet its a pattern that someone tries to get spot on year after year after year...

i mean, fair enough, you don't like a band, but it's hardly like lc! are constantly shoving themselves in yr face, being all offensive.
i'm sure there's other bands you don't like that other people on here do, but there doesn't seem to be loads of threads harping on about them. get over it?

How many people were giddily shouting "You! Me! Dancing! LOL SUCH A GOOD SONG" all those months.

I've only heard one johnny foreigner song and wasnt blown away by it. It seems people like them so much so they can say "Los campesinos? Yeah they're all right I guess but if you like that sort of thing you should definitely check out johnny foreigner, they do the same sort of thing but not as many people like them and they're better. Yeah totally dude"

To the folks above, (slight) apologies if I've just slagged off your favourite band and I tend to agree ranting threads are a bit pointless and should be left to the Social board where use of rude words is actively encouraged.

But what I guess I'm saying is that they were merely named targets in a bigger rant against music of this ilk.

If you follow.

Which given that many of you fail to see any similarities between the two, you possibly may not do?

there's three good songs on that Los Campesinos! album. i can't think of three good things with Davina McCall in. in fact, the only good things I can think of relating to Davina McCall were her tits pre-first child. so, a while ago.
